Good day Maryland Squash.  We wish to share a note of congratulations and gratitude ... congratulations to our Champions, and gratitude for the entire Squash Playing Community, our financial Sponsors, our Club / Court Managers for which the 2023 State Squash Championships would not have been as successful and enjoyable. 

Earlier this month - we concluded 200+ matches for our 130+ players at the Maryland Club and at Calvert School, topping it off with an outstanding Championship evening and dinner at Calvert School.  We are grateful to these clubs and the 5+ other clubs which made their courts available to our players, which are memorialized on the back of the Tournament Shirt given to all players and Sponsors.  In addition to sharing your gratitude with these clubs, their volunteer Court Managers, please extend congratulations to our 2023 State Champions noted below, by draw:
